M50 Sherman

One of the best kept secrets of the Sinai Campaign (1956) was the use of the U.S. made M50 Sherman with a French 73mm gun installed. M50s were combatants in the Sinai Campaign and in the daring battle on the Roeifa Dam, under the command of Moshe Brill.

The IDF modified the Sherman more, and based more variants on the Sherman, than any other vehicle. There were engineer variants, mine plows, rescue vehicles, gun targets, self propelled guns, mortars, MLRs, ambulances, and more.
